Undrafted rookie guard DeMarcus Nelson will start at point guard for the Warriors in their season-opener on Wednesday night.

Nelson will be the first undrafted rookie ever to line up for Golden State on Opening Night.

"After the songs are over, the guys announcing the names are over, you have to play the game," Nelson, a native of the Bay Area, said. "That's the main thing I'm focused on. There are enough things out there that we have to worry about as far as winning and playing good, so I can't get caught up in the sidelines."
